In 1953 while filming the movie Sabrina, Audrey Hepburn rented an apartment on Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills.
During the filming, fashion photographer Mark Shaw was assigned to photograph the young actress.
Evasive at first, Hepburn became comfortable with Shaw’s presence over a two-week period and allowed him to record many of her casual and private moments.
Life published several of these photos in the December 7, 1953 issue, which also carried a Shaw cover of Hepburn.
